=== FlightGear v3.6 canceled ===
Unfortunately, due to various circumstances and problems, it has been decided that the FlightGear v3.6 release will be skipped.<ref>{{cite web

}}</ref> The development focus will now be channeled into the FlightGear v3.8 release. In addition, through debates raised by the delays leading up to this cancellation, it has  been decided to pursue the automation of the release cycle through the use of scripts in the [[FlightGear build server]].
If users want to download the 3.6 release candidate (''which may be unstable''), they can do so [http://sourceforge.net/projects/flightgear/files/release-candidate/ here]. Or, if they want to risk running an ''even more'' unstable version of FlightGear, they can download latest FlightGear nightly build [http://sourceforge.net/projects/flightgear/files/unstable/ here].

Many [[JSBSim]] aircraft developers know about [[Aeromatic]], a web-based configuration file generator for JSBSim. In the past month, AeromatiC++ was created using the PHP code from Aeromatic2. AeromatiC++ is a flexible command line utility which, like Aeromatic2, can create JSBSim configuration files based on a minimal set of input variables. However, AeromatiC++ is much more flexible by design, which allows it to create appropriate subdirectories, engines and thruster files, and also systems files.
